Here at Space Coast Ophthalmology, we take care of all your eye care needs. We take pride in the expertise of our experienced ophthalmologist, Dr. Pefkaros, who is a board-certified member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. He specializes in general ophthalmology, cataract surgery, LASIK/PRK, and glaucoma surgery. Dr. Pefkaros has special interests in medical treatments for diabetes and macular degeneration.

Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art eye care technology to deliver high-quality eye care services to all our patients, at any age. We understand that children require special care, and our team of experts is dedicated to ensuring that every child receives personalized attention that caters to their unique needs.

Conveniently located in both Titusville and Viera, our services extend to children in all areas of Brevard County. We invite you to visit us to get a second opinion if your child is currently being seen by another eye care practice, particularly a franchise. We will work with your child’s medical insurance company to ensure that their visits are affordable.

We can answer any questions and concerns you may have about children’s eye health – questions like:

• How often should my child see an eye doctor?
• When should my child have their first eye exam?
• Can eye problems affect my child’s academic performance?
• My child is rubbing their eyes frequently, should I be worried?
• Can video games or screen time damage my child’s eyes?
• Are there ways to protect my child’s eyes from injury?
• What should I do if my child complains of eye pain or vision problems?

We offer a selection of name-brand frames for your child’s glasses in our Titusville location. If you cannot find what you want in our showroom, we can order frames that fit your child’s needs at no additional charge. While we can sometimes use existing frames in cases of prescription changes, our new frames and lenses come with a full warranty.

At Space Coast Ophthalmology, we understand that emergencies can happen. This is why we try to provide same-day appointments so that your child can receive prompt emergency attention. Dr. Christine Buono will see your child at any age in an emergency. Please call ahead to ensure that we have a provider available, and we will prioritize your appointment. Our friendly staff is always ready to assist you with any questions or needs. In case of a serious medical emergency, please call 911 immediately.

We want to thank you again for considering Space Coast Ophthalmology. If you are considering a new ophthalmology practice or would like a second opinion, we would invite you to call our office directly and we will be glad to set an appointment.

We trust that you will have a wonderful experience and that you will want to tell all your friends and family about the eye care professionals at Space Coast Ophthalmology.
